Chapter 1464 Investigation Result


    The next day, Jacob arrived early at thepany.


    He entered his office, and as soon as he sat down, his phone rang.


    He leisurely took it out of his pocket to check who it was. He thought that it might just be a random


    business partner, but when he saw the caller ID, a pleased smile made its way to his face.


    Sure enough, David hadn''t let him down. Jacob didn''t know a man that couldpare with the


    brilliance of his dear friend in these kinds of tasks.


    One would be envious of Jacob''s friendship with David, just because of the mere fact that he was an


    extremely reliable friend. Unfortunately, they couldn''t get together as much as they liked, because now,


    David was always busy with his wife.


    ''What a pity!'' Jacob thought while shaking his head. But on the bright side, David was still as


    dependable as before.


    Just like with the trouble he faced at that moment, Jacob knew that he could count on David''s help


    whenever he needed it. The brotherhood they had was priceless. No amount of money could buy this


    kind of friendship.


    "Hey, Jacob, I''ve done a bit of digging about that doctor. I''ve sent my findings to your e-mail. Don''t


    forget to check it! By the way, what can you say about my efficiency? I''m still as good as before, right?"


    David called early that morning to report his results. However, he was a lot more eager to be praised by


    Jacob rather than help him. Hence, he wore a smug look on his face.


    Although he was a married man and paid little attention to things outside his family, performing


    investigations was a profession he had relied on early in his life for survival. With his immense


    experience, it wasn''t surprising that he was still so good after all these years.


    David didn''t want to admit it, but he was thankful as well for having a friend like Jacob. With his current


    lifestyle, getting the chance to do investigations like this was rare. But being friends with the head of the


    HT Group allowed him to do some from time to time.


    "Yes, yes, you''re extremely efficient as usual. You never let me down," Jacob willingly praised his


    friend. He knew deep down that David enjoyed getting his ego fed.


    To say that David was good was an understatement. He was meticulous with his ways to the point that


    he never came empty-handed from his investigations. Regrettably, he had decided to stop once he had


    gotten married to his lovely wife.


    "Hey, calling me in the middle of the night to investigate someone the next day isn''t nice, you know?


    Additionally, forcing me to leave my warm bed to stand in a cold balcony was rude. So tell me, how are


    you going to make it up to me?" David bitterly uttered to Jacob at the thought of how much he had


    shiveredst night.


    In his opinion, men who were single and didn''t have children couldn''t possibly understand why he was


    so keen on asking for something in return.


    Since Jacob was a longtime friend of his. David didn''t care if he seemed like a moocher or not. He


    simply wasn''t about to let this debt pass by.


    Especially since Jacob was the type of guy who didn''t like wasting money, it was honestly idiotic to give


    up such a golden opportunity.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t get a chance like this in the future again. But he chose to ask for something


    simple, considering they were friends.


    Upon hearing David''s words, Jacob shed a faint smile. He had expected this.


    "Just tell me what you want. I''ll give it to you as long as it isn''t preposterous," Jacob uttered with a


    joyous smile on his face.


    The way they spoke to each other made it seem like they were real brothers.


    "You should at least treat me and my family to a fancy dinner. It might be a good idea to bring your wife


    and kids as well," David yfully replied with a grin on his face.


    He was excited to be able to go out and have some fun since he hadn''t done it for so long. Since the


    moment David had gotten married, he wasn''t free to do what he wanted anymore. He couldn''t even buy


    a single beer from a bar, because his wife was in charge of money and she didn''t give him any pocket


    money.


    "That''s pretty reasonable," Jacob agreed without giving it a second thought. The decision was easy,


    since he also wanted to spend some quality time with his dear friend.


    When the two of them settled down, Jacob checked his mail on his phone.


    When he read the content of the email, his face turned a little distressed. He was a bit reluctant to


    believe what he saw.


    The information only stated, "Jonas Lin, male, studied abroad for three years."


    Judging by how little information a professional investigator like David could get, Jonas wasn''t just a


    simple man.


    While staring at the screen in front of him, Jacob was lost in thought. He pursed his lip and stayed quiet


    for a few minutes.


    "Have you read the e-mail I sent you? What do you think? It seems sketchy, right?" David uttered with


    a subtle hint of worry in his voice.


    He had done his best to investigate the doctor, but it was very unusual that he could only obtain this


    much information about the man. It seemed highly likely that someone had deliberately concealed


    Jonas''s real identity.


    David had reached the same conclusion as Jacob''s. That was why he wanted to ask if Jacob knew


    something else. After all, he was confident in his skills as an investigator, so something dubious must


    be going on behind the scenes. But whether David would go to extreme lengths to find out the truth


    was up to Jacob.


    "I just finished reading it. In my opinion, there''s definitely something wrong with that Jonas. A


    professional investigator like you should be easily able to find more information, but the fact that you


    didn''t means that there are people who are clearly hiding something from us. Jacob stood up and


    walked toward his office window. He frowned with a dejected expression on his face.


    ''Who on earth is this man? Is he targeting Emily? If so, why?''


    Jacob''s thoughts were overwhelmed by these questions. The feeling of knowing so little frightened him.


    "It seems that you should be more watchful of this man in the future," David said out of concern.


    To Jacob''s eyes, the fact that there was so little to go on made it impossible to confront Jonas at this


    moment.

    "I know, I will. Thanks for your help," Jacob briefly replied.


    Afterward, he hung up the phone. He was restless because he couldn''t get Jonas out of his mind.


    But after considering what other options he had, Jacob concluded that it wasn''t a good idea to inform


    the charity foundation of Jonas''s dubious identity, so he tried his best to forget about it, for now.


    He gambled on the fact that the doctor''s lies woulde out in the end, and that the best course of


    action, for now, was to simply wait. Jonas was bound to let his guard down after some time.


    All of a sudden, Jacob remembered something fromst night. His face turned pale and it seemed like


    he was worried about something.


    He took his phone out once again and dialed Emily''s number. He anxiously tapped his foot on the


    ground while waiting for her to answer.


    The phone kept ringing, and it seemed like an eternity had gone by. There was no answer and this


    caused Jacob to worry even more.


    Unwilling to give up, Jacob dialed her number again. A few momentster, the call was finally


    connected.


    "What are you doing? Why didn''t you answer my call the first time?" Jacob had a serious tone when he


    questioned Emily. As a result, she was a bit stunned.


    It was like a great weight was suddenly lifted off Jacob''s shoulders when Emily finally answered.


    Needless to say, he was able to calm down and catch his breath.


    "I''m sorry. I forgot to tell you that I''m going to the charity foundation for the depressed today. You know


    how it''s like there and I''ll probably be a little busy today. Obviously, I won''t be able to answer the phone


    all the time," Emily quickly exined to Jacob when he was right about to speak again.


    She had actually forgotten to tell Jacob about it in the morning, so she told him in this call. Jacob would


    most likely get upset again if she didn''t.


    She was also aware of his temper. She had to report everything to him. It hadn''t been easy at first, but


    after some time, she had gotten used to it.


    "Who are you going with?" Jacob asked with a subtle hint of worry in his voice. After all, it wasn''t safe


    for Emily to go out alone. Now, there was a neer named Jonas to add to that. He had no choice


    but to be vignt if he wanted to protect his dear wife.
